The couple lived in Champlin, Minnesota and raised their three children: Michelle Ann, Marsha Kay, and Mark Andrew. Martha was a very loving and devoted mother. Martha worked in bookkeeping for various companies.  After her husband's passing Martha moved to Waukee, Iowa to be closer to her family.  Martha chose to pursue a college degree attending William Penn University, and in 2012, proudly received a BA in Business. Martha really enjoyed following the NFL, especially "her" Minnesota Vikings and reading. Above all else, she enjoyed time spent with her family and friends,  going out to eat, and hosting family dinners. Martha passed away January 31, 2019 at Circle of Life Hospice in Chariton, Iowa. She will be greatly missed by her children: Michelle Abraham, Marsha Abraham, and Mark Abraham; siblings: Elaine Dory, Randy (Marcia) Heimdal, and Edward (Karen) Heimdal; Aunt, Emma Murfin; and many special nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
